BILLING CODE 5001-06-M DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Navy Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement for Navy Atlantic Fleet Training in the Navy Cherry Point Range Complex and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section (102)(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)of 1969, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), and Executive Order 12114, the Department of Navy

(Navy)announces its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS to evaluate the potential environmental consequences associated with naval training operations in the Navy Cherry Point

(CP)Range Complex. The Navy proposes to support current and emerging training and research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) operations in the Navy CP Range Complex by:

(1)Maintaining baseline operations at current levels;

(2)increasing training operations from current levels as necessary to support the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP);

(3)accommodating mission requirements associated with force structure change; and

(4)implementing enhanced range complex capabilities. The EIS/OEIS study area is the Navy CP Range Complex which consists of surface and subsurface operating areas (OPAREAs), special use airspace (SUA), and instrumented ranges. The Navy CP Range Complex encompasses: 18,617 nm 2 of offshore surface and subsurface OPAREA; 12,529 nm 2 of deep ocean area greater than 100 fathoms (600 feet); and 18,966 nm 2 of SUA (warning area). No land ranges or facilities are included within the study area for this EIS/OEIS. The focus of the EIS/OEIS is the exercises and other actions in the ocean environment. Issues associated with land-based ranges will be assessed separately by the U.S. Marine Corps. The scope of actions to be analyzed in this EIS/OEIS includes current and proposed future Navy training and RDT&E within Navy-controlled operating areas, airspace, and instrumented ranges. It also includes proposed Navy-funded range capabilities enhancements, including infrastructure improvements, which support range complex training and RDT&E. Activities that involve the use of active sonar are conducted in the Navy CP Complex; however, those potential effects are being analyzed in detail in a separate document, the Atlantic Fleet Active Sonar Training EIS/OEIS. That separate sonar EIS/OEIS addresses active sonar use as a whole by the Atlantic Fleet in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (including waters that are part of the Navy CP Complex), and in the Gulf of Mexico. The results of that sonar EIS/OEIS will be incorporated into the Navy CP Range Complex EIS/OEIS to account for active sonar effects that could occur within the geographic area of the Navy CP Range Complex. *Dates and Addresses:* Two public scoping meetings will be held, one in Morehead City, North Carolina and one in Wilmington, North Carolina, to receive oral and written comments on environmental concerns that should be addressed in the Navy CP Range Complex EIS/OEIS. Public scoping meetings will be held at the following dates, times, and locations: May 16, 2007, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at West Carteret High School, 4700 Country Club Road, Morehead City, North Carolina, and May 17, 2007, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at New Hanover High School, 1307 Market Street, Wilmington, North Carolina. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kelly Knight, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Atlantic,

(757)322-4398. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Navy's mission is to maintain, train, and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. For that reason, Title 10 U.S.C. 5062 directs the Chief of Naval Operations to train all naval forces for combat. The Chief of Naval Operations meets that direction, in part, by conducting at-sea training exercises and ensuring naval forces have access to ranges, OPAREAs and airspace where they can develop and maintain skills for wartime missions and conduct RDT&E of naval weapons systems. As such, Navy ranges, OPAREAs, and airspace must be maintained and/or enhanced to accommodate necessary training and testing activities in support of national security objectives. The purpose of the proposed action is to: Achieve and maintain Fleet readiness using the Navy CP Range Complex to support current, emerging, and future training and RDT&E operations; expand warfare missions; and upgrade/modernize existing range capabilities to enhance and sustain Navy training and testing. The need for the proposed action is to provide combat capable forces ready to deploy worldwide in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C 5062. Specifically, maintain current levels of military readiness by training and testing in the Navy CP Range Complex; accommodate future increases in operational training tempo in the Navy CP Range Complex and support the rapid deployment of naval units or strike groups; achieve and sustain readiness in ships and squadrons so that the Navy can quickly surge significant combat power in the event of a national crisis or contingency operation and consistent with FRTP; support the testing and training needed for new aircraft, vessels, weapons systems and missions; and maintain the long-term viability of the Navy CP Range Complex while protecting human health and the environment. Three alternatives will be evaluated in the EIS/OEIS including:

(1)The No Action Alternative comprising baseline operations and support of existing range capabilities;

(2)Alternative 1 comprising the No Action Alternative plus additional operations, expanded warfare missions, accommodation of force structure changes including training and RDT&E resulting from the introduction of new vessels, aircraft, weapons systems and missions, and the implementation of enhancements to range infrastructure; and

(3)Alternative 2, comprising Alternative 1 plus additional increases in training, and implementation of enhancements that will optimize training throughput in support of future contingencies. The EIS/OEIS will evaluate the environmental effects associated with: Airspace; noise; range safety; water resources; air quality; biological resources, including threatened and endangered species; land use; socioeconomic resources; infrastructure; and cultural resources. The analysis will include an evaluation of direct and indirect impacts, and will account for cumulative impacts from other naval activities in the Navy CP Range Complex. No decision will be made to implement any alternative until the EIS/OEIS process is completed and a Record of Decision is signed by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Installations and Environment). The Navy is initiating the scoping process to identify community concerns and local issues to be addressed in the EIS/OEIS. Federal agencies, State agencies, local agencies, and interested persons are encouraged to provide oral and/or written comments to the Navy to identify specific issues or topics of environmental concern that should be addressed in the EIS/OEIS. Written comments must be postmarked by June 12, 2007 and should be mailed to: Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Atlantic, 6506 Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, Virginia, 23508-1278, Attention: Ms. Kelly Knight.

Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this notice. *Project Period:* Up to 60 months. Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description *Purpose of Program:* The purpose of this program is to:

(1)Improve results for children with disabilities by promoting the development, demonstration, and use of technology;

(2)support educational media services activities designed to be of educational value in the classroom setting to children with disabilities; and

(3)provide support for captioning and video description that is appropriate for use in the classroom setting. *Priority:* In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), this priority is from allowable activities specified in the statute (see sections 674 and 681(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)). *Absolute Priority:* For FY 2007 this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that meet this priority. This priority is: *Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities—Institute on Technology Effectiveness for Children with Disabilities: Web-Supported Instructional Approaches.* Background On September 26, 2006, we published a notice in the **Federal Register** (71 FR 56133) inviting applications for new awards under the Research on Technology Effectiveness and Implementation for Children with Disabilities: Web-Supported Instructional Approaches competition. We received several applications for grants under the competition; however, we did not receive any fundable applications. To clarify our intent and improve future applications, we changed the background section and priority requirements and are reissuing the notice inviting applications under a new title, Institute on Technology Effectiveness for Children with Disabilities: Web-Supported Instructional Approaches. A number of projects funded by the Office of Special Education Programs

(OSEP)have developed and tested World Wide Web-supported approaches to improve educational results for children with disabilities. In some cases, these projects have used generally available Web resources (e.g., newspaper sites, museum sites, and search engines). In other cases, the projects have developed specialized Web sites (e.g., simulation of learning environments, discussion boards, and strategy reminders) to improve student learning. Web-supported educational approaches have a number of potential benefits for students with disabilities. Web-based instruction is distinct from other forms of instruction because of the availability of multiple types of media (e.g., text, video, graphics, and audio), the possibility of real time remote collaboration and communication, the access it provides to vast quantities of information, and the ability for students to participate in global classrooms. The Web also can support varied learning strategies and activities that can be designed to address different student needs. For example, it can provide supports to compensate for learning difficulties, sensory impairments, and academic skill deficits. Research on the benefits of Web-supported approaches for students with disabilities is limited. There also is little information about whether Web-based resources that provide access for one population of students creates accessibility barriers for others (e.g., graphic features may not be accessible to students with visual impairments; hyper-linked resources or graphic organizers may increase intellectual demands and create barriers for students with cognitive disabilities). Finally, the effectiveness of Web-supported instruction when widely used in typical educational environments has not been fully explored. Priority This priority supports an institute to conduct a systematic program of research on the use of Web-supported instructional approaches to improve access to, and participation and progress in, the general curriculum for students with disabilities. In carrying out its research, the institute must apply the principles of universal design (i.e., design of products that will be usable by children with different disabilities, to the greatest extent possible, with minimal need for additional adaptations). In their applications, applicants must—

(a)Propose an operational definition of Web-supported instruction and include the key features to be used in a program of research;

(b)Describe the applicant's access to existing Web-supported instructional materials that will allow the institute to proceed quickly with the research without substantial time devoted to additional development;

(c)Propose instructional approaches and products to be examined; these approaches and products must represent a range of features of Web-supported instruction relevant to the education of students with disabilities; and

(d)Present a plan to conduct a program of research to answer the following questions:

(1)Do the Web-supported instructional approaches and products identified in

(c)improve learning of academic content for students with disabilities in educational settings with typical resources and levels of teacher support?

(2)What characteristics of Web-supported instruction facilitate or impede access to, and learning of, academic content for students with disabilities?

(3)What student characteristics (e.g., disability, age/grade level, technology skills) and contextual factors (e.g., teacher training, hardware resources, student groupings) influence the effectiveness of Web-supported instruction? This plan may focus on specific academic content areas or student ages, but, at a minimum, must address research questions separately for each of the following populations: students with learning disabilities, students with mental retardation, students with visual impairments or blindness, students with hearing impairments or deafness, students with emotional disturbance, and students with physical disabilities. The research is intended to test causal relationships and must employ rigorous experimental designs using randomized assignment to determine treatment effects. Applicants must fully describe instruments and methodologies and provide a power analysis to document that available sample sizes and methodologies are sufficient to produce the precision needed to yield conclusive findings. Experimental research may be supplemented with qualitative or non-experimental methodologies, provided sufficient rigor is maintained. The majority of the research must be conducted in educational environments using typical resources and levels of teacher support. Once funded, the institute must—

(a)Establish a technical review board to review its operational definition of Web-supported instructional approaches and its research plans, and identify any needed improvements.

(b)Revise the institute's operational definition of Web-supported instructional approaches and its research plan in accordance with comments from the technical review board and input from the Department of Education (Department).

(c)Conduct the program of research called for in its plan, as revised, taking appropriate steps to ensure that the research is rigorous and objective. Toward this end, the institute must maintain communication with the Department and the technical review board to identify needed corrective actions.

(d)Disseminate findings to appropriate audiences. The institute must submit reports for publication in peer-reviewed professional journals and for presentation at professional conferences, and must post reports on a Web site that meets a government or industry-recognized standard for accessibility.

(e)Formulate and disseminate research-based guidelines for the development and use of the Web to support instruction and to improve access to, and participation and progress in, the general curriculum for students with disabilities.

(f)Budget for a three-day Project Directors' meeting and a two-day Technology Innovation meeting, each in Washington, DC, during each year of the project.

(g)Budget five percent of the grant amount annually to support emerging needs as identified jointly through consultation with the OSEP project officer. *Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking:* Under the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA)(5 U.S.C. 553), the Department generally offers interested parties the opportunity to comment on proposed priorities. However, section 681(d) of the IDEA makes the public comment requirements of the APA inapplicable to the priority in this notice. *Program Authority:* 20 U.S.C. 1474 and 1481. *Applicable Regulations:* The Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99.

(202)245-6288. V. Application Review Information 1. *Selection Criteria:* The selection criteria for this competition are from 34 CFR 75.210 and are listed in the application package. 2. *Review and Selection Process:* *Treating a Priority as Two Separate Competitions:* In the past, there have been problems in finding peer reviewers without conflicts of interest for competitions in which many entities throughout the country submit applications. The Standing Panel requirements under IDEA also have placed additional constraints on the availability of reviewers. Therefore, the Department has determined that, for some discretionary competitions, applications may be separated into two or more groups and ranked and selected for funding within the specific group. This procedure will ensure the availability of a much larger group of reviewers without conflicts of interest. It also will increase the quality, independence and fairness of the review process and permit panel members to review applications under discretionary competitions for which they have also submitted applications. However, if the Department decides to select for funding an equal number of applications in each group, this may result in different cut-off points for fundable applications in each group. VI. Award Administration Information 1. *Award Notices:* If your application is successful, we notify your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notification (GAN). We may also notify you informally. If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, we notify you. 2. *Administrative and National Policy Requirements:* We identify administrative and national policy requirements in the application package and reference these and other requirements in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice and include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also incorporates your approved application as part of your binding commitments under the grant. 3. *Reporting:* At the end of your project period, you must submit a final performance report, including financial information, as directed by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance report that provides the most current performance and financial expenditure information as specified by the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118. 4. *Performance Measures:* Under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), the Department has developed measures that will yield information on various aspects of the quality of the Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities program. These measures focus on the extent to which projects are of high quality, are relevant to the needs of children with disabilities, and contribute to improving the results for children with disabilities. Data on these measures will be collected from the projects funded under this competition. Grantees also will be required to report information on their projects' performance in annual reports to the Department (34 CFR 75.590). VII.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pharmaceuticals Production was proposed on April 2, 1997, and promulgated on September 21, 1998. These standards apply to facilities in pharmaceuticals facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The affected facilities encompass all pharmaceuticals manufacturing operations that include process vents, storage tanks, equipment components, and wastewater systems commencing construction, or reconstruction after the date of that proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG. HAP emissions are the pollutants regulated under this subpart. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners, or operators also are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and in general, are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. This information is used by the Agency to identify sources subject to the standards to insure that the maximum achievable control technologies are being applied. Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part will maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State, or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)regional office. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 177 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Pharmaceuticals facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 100. *Frequency of Response:* Initially, Semi-annually and on occasion. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 163,371. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $14,901,733, which consists of no Capital/Startup costs, $415,800 in Operations and Maintenance Costs, and $14,485,933 in Labor Costs associated with this ICR. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is an increase of 5,192 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden is due to adjustments. Burden items were added to the ICR which were previously omitted, and the burden associated with some items was increased to be consistent with more recently approved ICRs for similar source categories.

(A)Background and Discussion Section 209(a) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (“Act”), 42 U.S.C. 7543(a), provides: No State or any political subdivision thereof shall adopt or attempt to enforce any standard relating to the control of emissions from new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines subject to this part. No state shall require certification, inspection or any other approval relating to the control of emissions from any new motor vehicle or new motor vehicle engine as condition precedent to the initial retail sale, titling (if any), or registration of such motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, or equipment. Section 209(b) of the Act requires the Administrator, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, to waive application of the prohibitions of section 209(a) for any state that has adopted standards (other than crankcase emission standards) for the control of emissions from new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines prior to March 30, 1966, if the state determines that the state standards will be, in the aggregate, at least as protective of public health and welfare as applicable Federal standards. California is the only state that is qualified to seek and receive a waiver under section 209(b). The Administrator must grant a waiver unless he finds that

(A)the determination of the state is arbitrary and capricious,

(B)the state does not need the state standards to meet compelling and extraordinary conditions, or

(C)the state standards and accompanying enforcement procedures are not consistent with section 202(a) of the Act. Previous decisions granting waivers of Federal preemption for motor vehicles have stated that State standards are inconsistent with section 202(a) if, for example, there is inadequate lead time to permit the development of the necessary technology giving appropriate consideration to the cost of compliance within that time period or if the Federal and State test procedures impose inconsistent certification procedures. 1 1 To be consistent, the California certification procedures need not be identical to the Federal certification procedures. California procedures would be inconsistent, however, if manufacturers would be unable to meet the state and the Federal requirements with the same test vehicle in the course of the same test. See, e.g., 43 FR 32182 (July 25, 1978). CARB's December 21, 2005, letter to the Administrator notified EPA that the CARB Board had adopted its GHG regulations at a public hearing on September 23-24, 2004 and subsequently California's Office of Administrative Law approved the regulatory action on September 15, 2005. The amendment and adoption of regulations can be found at title 13, California Code of Regulations (CCR), sections 1900, 1961 and 1961.1. Please provide comment as to whether

(a)California's determination that its motor vehicle emission standards are, in the aggregate, at least as protective of public health and welfare as applicable Federal standards is arbitrary and capricious,

(b)California needs such standards to meet compelling and extraordinary conditions, and

(c)California's standards and accompanying enforcement procedures are consistent with section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. Within the context of these statutory criteria we also request comment on the following:

(1)Given that the regulations referenced in the December 21, 2005, request letter relate to global climate change, should that have any effect on EPA's evaluation of the criteria, and if so, in what manner;

(2)whether the United States Supreme Court's decision, issued on April 2, 2007 (549 U.S. ____(2007)), regarding the regulation of emissions of greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles under Title II of the Clean Air Act, is relevant to EPA's evaluation of the three criteria, and if so, in what manner; and

(3)whether the Energy Policy and Conservation Act

(EPCA)fuel economy provisions are relevant to EPA's consideration of this petition or to CARB's authority to implement its vehicle GHG regulations. Procedures for Public Participation In recognition that public hearings are designed to give interested parties an opportunity to participate in this proceeding, there are no adverse parties as such. Statements by participants will not be subject to cross-examination by other participants without special approval by the presiding officer. The presiding officer is authorized to strike from the record statements that he or she deems irrelevant or repetitious and to impose reasonable time limits on the duration of the statement of any participant. The Agency will make a verbatim record of the proceedings. Interested parties may arrange with the reporter at the hearing(s) to obtain a copy of the transcript at their own expense. EPA will keep the record open until June 15, 2007. Upon expiration of the comment period, the Administrator will render a decision on CARB's request based on the record of the public hearing, relevant written submissions, and other information that he deems pertinent. Persons with comments containing proprietary information must distinguish such information from other comments to the greatest possible extent and label it as “Confidential Business Information” (CBI). If a person making comments wants EPA to base its decision in part on a submission labeled CBI, then a non-confidential version of the document that summarizes the key data or information should be submitted for the public docket. To ensure that proprietary information is not inadvertently placed in the docket, submissions containing such information should be sent directly to the contact person listed above and not to the public docket. Information covered by a claim of confidentiality will be disclosed by EPA only to the extent allowed and by the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. If no claim of confidentiality accompanies the submission when EPA receives it, EPA will make it available to the public without further notice to the person making comments. Dated: April 24, 2007.

Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the insecticide clothianidin in or on food commodities: Beet, sugar, root at 0.02 ppm; beet, sugar, tops at 0.04 ppm; and beets, sugar, molasses at 0.06 ppm. In plants and plant products, the residue of concern parent clothianidin can be determined using high performance liquid chromatography

(HPLC)with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detection. In an extraction efficiency testing, the plant residues method has also demonstrated the ability to extract aged clothianidin residue. Although the plant residues LC-MS/MS method is highly suitable for enforcement method, an L C-Ultraviolet

(UV)method has also been developed which is suitable for enforcement monitoring purposes in all relevant matrices. Contact: Kable
